Bernadette empathizes with her misbehaving son without sympathizing with his wrong actions.
Top answer
Bernadette empathizes with (understands the motivation of) her misbehaving son – without sympathizing with (feeling pity for) his wrong actions. The problem seems to lie in there being no mention of suffering with which to sympathize. Perhaps, if ‘his wrong actions’ were replaced with ‘his incarceration’ it might fit better.
